A day of inspiration…

I had the opportunity and pleasure to attend a workshop by Charlotte Lyons. The workshop was held in Irvington, NY at the home of Charlotte’s friend, Jane.

Each place was adorned with goodies, too many to mention! A lovely table of door prizes awaited us in another room and I was thrilled to chose the one that first spoke to me.

Charlotte had many projects for us to choose from; totes, slippers, snowmen, mobile, hats, jewelry and mug cozies to name a few. In the end I made a hat and a creature, which were claimed by Lil Red and the Jman as soon as I walked in the door.

At 12:30 we broke for lunch. We were treated to a lovely lunch by Charlotte’s friend, Suzanne, just 3 blocks away. Little did we know how jaw dropping the setting would be…Suzanne’s home was breathtaking, to say the least. We all oooed and aahed at both the food she prepared and the setting…we were like children in a candy shop.

Thank you to my friends, both old and new for making it the day so lovely…

Thank you,Charlotte, Jane and Suzanne for making it possible…

One Sweater

I spent the day with Charlotte Lyons and a group of wonderfully talented women. We cut up old wool sweaters which had been felted in order to be given a new life...I made this adorable hat, which Lil Red has claimed for herself and a creature, which JMan has taken possession of...

With the exceptions of a leaf on the hat and some embellishments on the creature...it's all one sweater and all sewn by hand!

Charlotte had found this adorable white sweater with hearts just in time for Valentine's Day but couldn't bear to felt it if there was a girl who could possibly wear it...Red was very excited for her new gifts...
